Yikes,

What happend what caused this? How long do you got this one? Me and my porth just celebrate our 6.5yrs anniversary.
Where is yours located? Mine under my left armpit. :)
Do they take blood out of it, or how do you fight this fight? Oral antibiotics?
I'll keep my fingers crossed and you are in my thoughts.

Get well soon buddy. Targocid is a very strong antibiotic that can even knock out MRSA infections. Let's hope it works well for you, Panos.  :hugfriend
